Every American should be asking themselves these questions... Why am I paying TAXES on my wages? Then paying Sales Tax to spend my money. Then paying Income Taxes on my money they already TAXED and paying Property Taxes after I already paid Sales Tax on said the property

People aren't poor just because they don't manage their money right. Most people who're poor are born into poverty and can't escape, because that's how the system is set up — in both Capitalist and Socialist countries. Even so, it's counter-productive to make it harder for people to turn their lives around and get out of poverty. This is why people say Libertarians hate poor people — because yall do.

Lol, there is no 'system'. Michael Moore comes from a white-trash poor family..the first line in his first book is 'you can't get rich in America, don't even try' (I'm paraphrasing). He went on to make millions and millions of dollars by whining what a terrible country the US is. That's just one example. Oprah, from a poor family, is another example. There are thousands of examples, I could go on all day but I have to go to work...I mean I CHOOSE to go to work instead of whining about how unfair the 'system' is.

The individuals who rise up the social hierarchy must be chosen and aided by those of a higher class.

You don't have to rise up the class scale to stop living in poverty.

Working class ≠ the poor

There are more classes than just Working class and not Working class. Regardless, class is not inherent from wealth, I did not say that, in fact I define wealth by influence rather than how much money someone has. Influence can and does garner wealth, but it is no guarantee.
